Inter-dependence Day- Queer, Fat Virtual Dance Party

Happy Inter-Dependence Day! Come dance over zoom to celebrate our vibrant queer, fat community. All bodies are welcome (including allies). Andrea of Ample Movement, and Laura-Marie Strawberry of the Eugene Radical Mental Health Collective, will greet you. Then we'll all dance to a special playlist you can help create by submitting favorite songs.
Camera on or camera off, full body dance, seated dance, just-hands dance, and shared rest are great ways to be part of our ecstatic dance party.
Dance for free, or make a donation in support of the Transqueer Fat Disabled Ecstatic Dance of Eugene at the Venmo below. Please invite friends and pets. Thank you for being in inter-dependent community!

COMMUNITY MOVEMENT SESSIONS (on pause until July 15)
​Format:
Online via Zoom

Cost: Free

Looking for a different kind of movement space?
Sometimes getting started is the hardest part — especially when you're doing it alone. I’m creating a virtual space where we can move together, each in our own way. No pressure, no expectations, just a supportive community of folks showing up for themselves however they can. Whether you want to stretch, walk, dance, do PT exercises, or just be around good energy, you’re welcome here.

Think of it like body doubling for movement…
​

Who this is for:
🧠 Neurodivergent folks who are struggling with executive dysfunction.
Trouble getting started or staying consistent? Come join us. Tell me you’re coming and we’ll be your accountability buddy.
🏳️‍🌈 People who want a movement community with like-minded folks but don’t have one nearby. Looking for a fat-positive, queer-affirming, anti-ableist gym? Same. Let’s create it together, virtually.
🦵🏽 Folks who have physical therapy exercises they need to do but find it hard to make time for them or remember to do them.
🚶🏿‍♀️ People who want to walk and chat with others.
(You'll need data or Wi-Fi if you’re connecting from your phone!)
🧘🏾‍♂️ Folks who want to be more consistent with anything — movement, meditation, stretching, or just setting aside time for yourself.
💓 Anyone who wants a supportive environment where it’s totally normal to breathe heavy, look silly, and know they are enough exactly as they are.
🏠 People who work from home and could use some structured movement time — without having to plan or think about it.
❌🏋🏽‍♀️ People who feel overwhelmed by traditional fitness spaces and want a low-pressure, shame-free zone to move their bodies.
🌱 People recovering from injury, illness, burnout, or life in general, who need a soft place to land and reconnect with their bodies gently.

I’m going to offer a Zoom space two or three times a week depending on my schedule and I’m inviting YOU!
Do you want to do some yoga? Do you want to strength train? Do you want to go for a walk with us on your phone? Do you want to sit outside and tell us about all the birds you’re noticing? Do you have physical therapy you need to do? (I do).
​ I’ll be doing my own thing and you’ll be doing yours.  It will be a free place where we can all support each other in whatever goals with movement we might have. It will also be a place where you can talk and share as much or as little as you feel like.

Topic: Combating diet culture during the holidays (dealing with comments from family)

Date: TBD. End of year time

Our culture has made it very difficult for everyone, but especially women, femmes and AFAB folks, to be okay with our bodies as they are. We are constantly being told that we must change this and shrink that in order to even think about fitting in. We're also told that a lot of this is for our own good, for our health. Frankly, a lot of this is BS. What you have been taught is through the lens of diet culture and capitalism. There are other ways. Ways that take into consideration your mental health as well. Ways based in current science and research. You don't have to shrink your body. You can eat in a way that honors your internal signals instead of the latest diet or "lifestyle change". Your health isn't dependent on your body size either.

Because of this, it may be very difficult to "love your body as it is". A place to start might be to set a truce with your body. Body neutrality instead of body love might be a goal that sounds more attainable. You only have one body in this lifetime, learning to work with it instead of against it may just give you the confidence and FREEDOM you have been looking for.

Maybe you have set that truce or are very early in that journey and you'll be with others over the holidays who haven't gotten the memo. Let's chat about ways to deflect and to "fight" back so you can keep your sanity this holiday season. 
 
Join us to chat about Health At Every Size, joyful (ample) movement and making peace with your body. You've been doing the same thing for so long, maybe it's time to do things differently. Even if you have been doing work to make peace with your body for a while, I've found having a community to talk about body image issues, struggles and successes to be life changing.
